John Steenhuisen

Farmers are cheering the news that John Steenhuisen has been put out to pasture as agriculture minister.

DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis has demoted Steenhuisen to deputy minister of trade, industry, and competition.

Willie Aucamp will now take over agriculture.

Aucamp, until now, forestry, fisheries, and the environment minister, is a farmer himself and has served as a DA MP since 2024.
